The Marietta Gaano Factory in Full Blast.
We note with pleasure that the Marietta
Guano Company have turned on a full
head of steam and their factory is now in
active operation, turning out high grade
guano. Their factory is a two-story, com
modious building located about half mile
above Marietta, along side of the Marietta
and North Georgia Railroad and the W. Il
A Railroad just above Mr. A. Howell 5
mill. The company is composed of Messrs.
Mckenzie n Warren, progressive ana ener-
getic merchants of this place, and Mr. w. j.
Manning, a successful and practical farmer
of this county The machinery is all new,
and has a capacity Of turning out six tons
OF cotton seed meal per day, and from ten
to fifteen tons OF high grad guano per day.
Mr.. VIII Mckenzie has had some expert
ence in the manufacture Of guano in an AT
lanta factory, consequently il is no expert
ment the company is engaged in, but a
practical business with a knowledge of its
requirements.
Their cotton seed grinder drops the meal
into hopper underneath, while the hulls
are conveyed through tunnel into the en-
CINE room adjoining the main building
Here these hulls are used for fuel in gener-
ating steam in the engine, thus dispensing
with wood and coal The other machinery
for preparing and mixing the ingredients
according to the formula does its work rap
idly aud efficiently 20 better ggano can
| be found on the market, as the Ingredients
that enter into its composition fully attests.
To the cotton seed meal is added blood, sui
high grade Of acid phosphate and bone
| neal 1t may surprise some to know that
this firm buys In Chicago and has shipped
to them blood by the car load Ii IS a
bloody transaction it is true, but it re-
| quires blood lago, blood, to make guano
They else buy acid phosphate by the car
load, and it is no inconsideFabll amount Of
cash it takes to run a guano factory.
The guano is all tested and inspected by
State Inspector before it leaves the fac
tory. Every sack is tagged and bears the
brand, Marietta High Grade Guano
